Article: The energy of change : the solarization of industrial processes

An article related to the SOLPART project was published in the magazine “The energy of change”.

The objective of the Solpart Project is to solarize industrial processes that have a high energy consumption and to reduce the impact associated to their life cycle.

It presents the challenge of demonstrating a suitable pilot-scale solar reactor for its implementation in the cement manufacturing process, providing all or part of the thermal energy requirements for the calcination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), simulating at prototype scale its operational, as well as the performance of the storage and transport systems of particles at high temperature.
